medlady, I rode years ago and came back to it this year. I also took the MSF course this May and certainly learned alot. VRodDrew just went over pretty much the course and it also served to remind me of some of the info I learned there. BTW, Myself and another "returnee" were both called with an earlier date due to a cancellation. Both were called the day before so we had to scramble to rearrange our schedules. Good luck.
